Chapter 2006: Countermeasures

Melissa went to sign agreements with the three major U.S. operators to build signal towers.

According to common sense, such an agreement cannot be signed with the three major operators.

After all, the three major operators themselves are also in competition. If you work with the three major operators, it's obviously impossible. This can easily lead to operators suffering losses due to their competitive relationship, and eventually the snipe and mussels compete with each other, and the fishermen benefit.

In this world, no one is so stupid. will sit back and watch others make easy money through themselves.

BUT THIS TIME, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE THREE MAJOR OPERATORS JOINTLY WANT TO PIT MELISSA, OR THE FACEBOOK (FACEBOOK NETWORK) BEHIND THE PIT THAT HAS RECENTLY BECOME FAMOUS AND HAS DEEP POCKETS, THAT IS, QIN FENG.

Naturally, it was signed.

In the signing of the agreement, Melissa cleverly added a clause, that is, the signal tower will be built by the "Facebook network" independent funds, and it has its legal ownership. In the future, it will share 3G signal revenue sharing with the three major operators. Its share agreement is 30%.

In other words, all the towers are borne by Facebook, which receives 30% of the final service revenue.

In this regard, the three major operators are very satisfied.

Of course, this is not to say that the three major operators will transmit on the same tower.

Rather, for each tower, whoever has signed a sharing agreement will be divided between the company and Facebook. There is no real absolute competition between them.

Of course, the three major operators also ignored this text trap created by Melissa.

Although Melissa indicated in the contract the exclusive ownership of the tower. However, at the same time, the 3G signal is divided into services and put into one section.

It's easy to misunderstand. Including from a legal point of view, this is more ambiguous. This is an easy litigious clause.

However, Melissa wanted such ambiguity.

After all, the three major operators are not stupid, and the other party also has a lawyer present. If you want to write too obviously, the other party will definitely question it, and then you won't sign the agreement.

Therefore, after consulting with a lawyer, carefully considering and discussing the details, and carefully analyzing the situation of the future lawsuit, the lawyer team gave such a clause.

Eventually, if the 3G signal ends, and the other party fights a lawsuit. Then, although there are doubts about the ownership of the signal tower, there is one point, which is beneficial to Qin Feng's side.

That's time.

You're going to have a lawsuit, okay. We're here to help.

But during the lawsuit, the ownership of this signal tower belonged to Qin Feng's side.

This means that the other party cannot obtain the right to use the tower until the lawsuit is won.

Putting aside whether it can win, during this time, the three major operators may not be able to afford it.

After all, this kind of lawsuit, especially when the terms are so vague, and the signal tower is built solely by Facebook, and the lawsuit will not be completed in three or five years.

Of course, the lawyer's fees involved must be astronomical.

However, it will also drag on for a long time. Three or five years is normal, and it may even drag on to seven or eight years, or ten years.

During this period, the cell towers were completely owned by 'Facebook', and the three major operators were a bit blind.

When the signal tower at the key location is occupied, they are very painful.

When the signal is interfered with, all the costs they have invested in the early stage will be wasted.

At that time, they will use the fact that time waits for no one to force them to sign a follow-up cooperation agreement. An out-of-court settlement was reached.

This is the plan developed by the team of lawyers here at Facebook.

It would be too early to say that Facebook now has a team of lawyers.

How can any company be equipped with a dedicated team of lawyers so early, which is obviously a bit excessive.

But there was no way, Qin Feng opened Facebook on Harvard. In addition, it has pledged to give priority to recruiting Harvard graduates and providing part-time opportunities for Harvard students.

In this case, it is not an exaggeration to have an exclusive team of lawyers in advance, and it is not excessive at all.

Harvard, on the other hand, is one of the world's top universities. The team of lawyers may not be the best in the world. But it is also the most elite group.

With so many people, the ideas that come up from brainstorming are naturally not bad.

The only downside is that it can incur huge legal fees.

At that time, the three major operators may have to compromise because they can't afford the huge legal fees on Facebook's side with their strong financial resources.

However, Melissa's legal team also discussed this point and resolved it.

That is, if there is really a lawsuit at that time, the entire Harvard Law School students will be mobilized to welcome the graduates, and treat them as a final graduation thesis.

As long as the lawsuit is won, the dissertation is qualified. Otherwise, even if you fail.

Let the entire Harvard Law School graduating population figure this out. At that time, not only may it cost nothing, but it will also bring out the potential of all law students.

This is the power of an entire academy, or the power of the world's first academy, to oppose the opposing team's team of lawyers.

At that point, the lawyer's fee can almost be said to be zero.

Because if you think of it as a graduation thesis, then you don't have to spend money. Of course, you still have to spend money on various tea and drinks. The cost of daily living allowance, which still has to be appropriately spent.

Moreover, after winning, you always have to have a celebration banquet, and this money is also required.

But compared to the sky-high legal fees, it is not worth mentioning.

On the contrary, the three major operators may not be able to bear such a price.

After all, while spending some tea money. On the other hand, there are sky-high lawyer fees, and compared with the two, the natural gap is obvious.

As for the follow-up, if the other party is not convinced, there will be a lawsuit, which is also simple.

Every year, recent Harvard Law School graduates write their graduation theses.

This has graduates every year, and naturally there is cheap labor every year.

If this continues, Facebook can continue to consume itself. In the end, it will be up to who can't consume whom.

The only thing is that it needs the consent of Harvard.

And this point has also been analyzed by the lawyer team.

With the current relationship between Facebook and Harvard, as well as the relationship between Qin Feng and the college, there is basically no need to worry.

I believe that Harvard will be willing to reach such a cooperation.

After all, the biggest headache for any institution is always an internship. How to help students enter the workforce faster is the most important thing.

Otherwise, no matter how much you learn, it's just just on paper.

And now, there is such a great opportunity. I believe that Harvard is willing to reach such a cooperation.

After all, this kind of workplace practice is much more useful than writing a paper.
